New Nimoy 'Star Trek Magazine' Interview
Watching another actor portray the character that made him famous, actor Leonard Nimoy learned new things about how Spock could be portrayed.
As reported by TrekMovie.com, from an interview in the latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, while watching Zachary Quinto play Spock, Nimoy realized that Quinto had done different things with the character that Nimoy had played for so many years. "I saw Zachary Quinto do things with the character that had never occurred to me, which I found quite delicious," said Nimoy. "I think he really has found a way to expand the character while at the same time, if you can understand what I'm trying to say, being true to the character. He has found ways to enrich the character. He's wonderful and I'm really proud of what he has done."
The former Spock hopes that the reboot will bring in new fans who will want to see more. "'Star Trek' has not been part of the zeitgeist for some time now," said Nimoy. "My hope is that this group of actors portraying these characters will give audiences a very delicious insight into what 'Star Trek' can be at its best, and they will want to see more of these people doing what they do, solving problems together as a team. That's my hope, and my expectation, by the way."
Nimoy doesn't think that it will be a problem attracting a new audience, if his wife's reaction to seeing Star Trek XI is any indication. "I don't want this movie to end," she said, while she was still watching it.

A horribly disgusting foot disease that is often caused by a combination of athletic cleats and clumsiness. Symptoms may include the fattening of a foot and use of crutches (crutches can be optional at times). Luckily the disease will remain enclosed in the foot area as long as the infected skin is exposed to a chlorine solution.

Promises for transparency failing the disabled: Editorial
The government is refusing to give details on the success or failure of accessibility standards for the disabled.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Premier Kathleen Wynne has promised an "open and transparent" government more times than it's possible to count.
So it's particularly perplexing that Ontario's Ministry of Economic Development has refused to give a volunteer group for the disabled important information on hard-won rights for equality. They're looking for details on the compliance and enforcement of the province's standards for accessibility in private businesses and organizations.
In other words, the very information that would prove whether the Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act is actually working — or not.
The government's response so far isn't anywhere close to "open and transparent." That's a shame. Wynne must prove her promises of accountability are principled and not just empty words.
The information should be provided as soon as possible, for the benefit of all Ontarians who are disabled. The public should not be kept in the dark about the successes or failures of the law. Since the roll-out of the new rules won't be completed until 2025, it's especially important to keep a close watch on the system.
Problems — like lack of compliance and enforcement — should be fixed as soon as possible. If the act fails to embrace the needs of the disabled in everyday life — something as simple reaching an office in a wheelchair — then what's the point of moving forward with new rules that don't work?
The obfuscation began in January when David Lepofsky, chair of the volunteer group Accessibility for Ontarians With Disabilities Act Alliance, asked the ministry for information that would determine if the new standards were having any effect.
Lepofsky, who is blind, wanted to know how businesses had to file the new online compliance reports; how many actually did file; and what, if any, enforcement action, including hefty fines, was taken against those not following the new rules.
"They made a fundamental commitment to us and we want to know what they're doing about it," Lepofsky says. It's a reasonable request for accountability.
Companies with 20 or more employees are among those that are now supposed to fill out these online reports. They must state whether they comply with the act's accessibility standards, which focus on areas like employment, transportation and customer service. One question, for example, asks if service dogs are allowed on the premises.
The ministry's response was unfortunate. Lepofsky said he received no response despite months of requests for the electronic data. He gave up in August and filed a freedom of information request. Instead of getting the files, he received a letter informing him of a $2,325 charge to process his request — an impossible amount for his small volunteer group to pay.
On Tuesday, NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo asked about the request in the legislature and received a similarly opaque answer from Economic Development Minister Eric Hoskins, who said a five-year routine review of the act is underway. Unfortunately, that response doesn't meet the premier's new transparency standards.
As DiNovo says, "It's egregious that no one knows whether the law is being enforced." She's right.
Since DiNovo raised the issue, the government has offered to lower the freedom of information processing fee. That may be well-intentioned but it's an insignificant development, to say the least. Ontarians have a right to scrutinize the implementation of important standards that — on paper — support the basic rights of so many.
It's a sad statement that a government that uses transparency as a slogan won't allow disabled citizens to see whether there's any truth to the act's promise for change.

Release Date:
October 15, 2013
After the release of World Outside My Window, his number four Billboard 200 debut released in 2002, Glenn Lewis was put through the industry wringer. A duet with Amel Larrieux -- a cover of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's "Where Is the Love," featured on Stanley Clarke's 1, 2, To the Bass -- earned a Grammy nomination, but Lewis recorded two albums that never reached the public. Moment of Truth, only his second proper album, follows his first by over a decade. Most of it was produced by either Carvin & Ivan or Vidal Davis, while a small cast, including Davis' partner Andre Harris, handles the remainder. It picks up where the debut left off. Apart from some touches of reggae on the opening "Time Soon Come" and "All My Love" (a duet with fellow Toronto native Melanie Fiona), along with a great midtempo groove ("All I See Is You") stashed near the end, there are no surprises. That's both good and bad, as Lewis clearly remains true to himself with heartfelt and understated ballads, yet there's not much in the way of developments or risks. No matter how it is cut, Moment of Truth is a well-built album of mature R&B from a singer who should have at least five commercial albums in his past. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

The Genetic and Environmental Determinants of the Association Between Brain Abnormalities and Schizophrenia: The Schizophrenia Twins and Relatives Consortium
ABSTRACT Structural brain abnormalities are consistently found in schizophrenia (Sz) and have been associated with the familial risk for the disorder. We aim to define the relative contributions of genetic and nongenetic factors to the association between structural brain abnormalities and Sz in a uniquely powered cohort (Schizophrenia Twins and Relatives consortium).
An international multicenter magnetic resonance imaging collaboration was set up to pool magnetic resonance imaging scans from twin pairs in Utrecht (The Netherlands), Helsinki (Finland), London (United Kingdom), and Jena (Germany). A sample of 684 subjects took part, consisting of monozygotic twins (n = 410, with 51 patients from concordant and 52 from discordant pairs) and dizygotic twins (n = 274, with 39 patients from discordant pairs). The additive genetic, common, and unique environmental contributions to the association between brain volumes and risk for Sz were estimated by structural equation modeling.
The heritabilities of most brain volumes were significant and ranged between 52% (temporal cortical gray matter) and 76% (cerebrum). Heritability of cerebral gray matter did not reach significance (34%). Significant phenotypic correlations were found between Sz and reduced volumes of the cerebrum (-.22 [-.30/-.14]) and white matter (-.17 [-.25/-.09]) and increased volume of the third ventricle (.18 [.08/.28]). These were predominantly due to overlapping genetic effects (77%, 94%, and 83%, respectively).
Some of the genes that transmit the risk for Sz also influence cerebral (white matter) volume.

- "Further it is observed that brain volume is highly heritable in both disorders, but more consistently in SZ than in BD. Indeed, the Schizophrenia Twins and Relatives consortium recently observed that the heritability of most brain volumes were ranged between 52% (temporal cortical GM) to 76% (cerebrum) (27). Interestingly, it has been shown that the genetic influences and the disease-related deficits affect GM in partially non-overlapping areas of predominantly heteromodal association cortex, thus suggesting synergistic actions to produce the symptom severity and cognitive dysfunction of the disorder (28).

Article: Gene X Environment Interactions in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: Evidence from Neuroimaging[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Schizophrenia (SZ) and Bipolar disorder (BD) are considered as severe multifactorial diseases, stemming from genetic and environmental influences. Growing evidence supports gene x environment (GxE) interactions in these disorders and neuroimaging studies can help us to understand how those factors mechanistically interact. No reviews synthesized the existing data of neuroimaging studies in these issues. Methods: We conduct a systematic review on the neuroimaging studies exploring GxE interactions relative to SZ or BD in PubMed. Results: First results of the influence of genetic and environmental risks on brain structures came from monozygotic twin pairs concordant and discordant for SZ or BD. Few structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) studies have explored the GxE interactions. No other imaging methods were found. Two main GxE interactions on brain volumes have arisen. First, an interaction between genetic liability to SZ and obstetric complications on gray matter, cerebrospinal fluid, and hippocampal volumes. Second, cannabis use and genetic liability interaction effects on cortical thickness and white matter volumes. Conclusion: Combining GxE interactions and neuroimaging domains is a promising approach. Genetic risk and environmental exposures such as cannabis or obstetrical complications seem to interact leading to specific neuroimaging cerebral alterations in SZ. They are suggestive of GxE interactions that confer phenotypic abnormalities in SZ and possibly BD. We need further, larger neuroimaging studies of GxE interactions for which we may propose a framework focusing on GxE interactions data already known to have a clinical effect such as infections, early stress, urbanicity, and substance abuse.Frontiers in Psychiatry 10/2013; 4:136.

- "These are called endophenotypes when they are (1) associated with the illness, (2) heritable, (3) primarily state independent and (4) co-segregate with illness in families (Gottesman & Gould, 2003). Brain volume is an example of an endophenotype of schizophrenia, as it is robustly associated with disease (Wright et al. 2000), is highly heritable (van Haren et al. 2012) and cosegregates with illness in families (Boos et al. 2007). It is an objectively assessed quantitative measure. "
ABSTRACT: Background: Schizophrenia is associated with lower pre-morbid intelligence (IQ) in addition to (pre-morbid) cognitive decline. Both schizophrenia and IQ are highly heritable traits. Therefore, we hypothesized that genetic variants associated with schizophrenia, including copy number variants (CNVs) and a polygenic schizophrenia (risk) score (PSS), may influence intelligence. Method: IQ was estimated with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). CNVs were determined from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data using the QuantiSNP and PennCNV algorithms. For the PSS, odds ratios for genome-wide SNP data were calculated in a sample collected by the Psychiatric Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) Consortium (8690 schizophrenia patients and 11 831 controls). These were used to calculate individual PSSs in our independent sample of 350 schizophrenia patients and 322 healthy controls. Results: Although significantly more genes were disrupted by deletions in schizophrenia patients compared to controls (p = 0.009), there was no effect of CNV measures on IQ. The PSS was associated with disease status (R 2 = 0.055, p = 2.1 × 10-7) and with IQ in the entire sample (R 2 = 0.018, p = 0.0008) but the effect on IQ disappeared after correction for disease status. Conclusions: Our data suggest that rare and common schizophrenia-associated variants do not explain the variation in IQ in healthy subjects or in schizophrenia patients. Thus, reductions in IQ in schizophrenia patients may be secondary to other processes related to schizophrenia risk.Psychological Medicine 02/2013; 43(12):1-8.

Article: Association study of copy number variants with brain volume in schizophrenia patients and healthy controls[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia patients have more copy number variations (CNVs) than healthy controls, and reduced brain volumes. Although this could suggest a causal relationship, we found no association between global CNV burden and three brain volume measures (on a MRI scan) in a sample of 173 schizophrenia patients and 176 healthy controls.Psychiatry Research 04/2012; 200(2-3).

The Pleasant Street Inn was the first stop on our Maine Honeymoon. Staying with Rob and Jan is like staying with family. They brought us into their spotlessly clean home, cooked amazing breakfasts, and even allowed us to come to their private camp on Rangeley Lake to canoe for the day. They know of all the best kept secrets. We saw moose, took a seaplane ride to dinner, and explored the countryside from the seat of a helicopter. Rangeley is a beautiful place and a must see if you're in Maine. We'll be back!
Innkeeper ResponseThanks so much for your kind words. We hope you continued to have a great Maine honeymoon! See you when you return.

I have been traveling to Rangeley ME for work. After the first time we stayed here I told my company next time we go we have to stay there again. We have now been up at least three times and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Rob and Jan are Friendly, Caring and High Spirited people. I can't wait to take my wife for a well deserved weekend away.

Rob and Jan created the perfect home feel for stay away from home. The place looks great, the rooms are extremely comfortable, breakfst is generous and the location is perfect. One of the most enjoyable B&Bs we've stayed in.
on June 24, 2011
This place was recommended to us by the proprietor of The Gingerbread House in the next town, and we had seen it was the only accommodation recommended by AAA. What a delightful overnight stay we had! Jan and Rob made us feel right at home, recommended a place to eat dinner out on the waterfront deck, and Rob prepared the us the most delicious Maine blueberry pancakes with Maine maple syrup for breakfast. The inn is impeccably clean, the decor is very tasteful, and we slept just as if we had been at home. The only negative was we had only one night there.
on September 13, 2010
If you are an intuitive person, your radar should lead you to this out of the way location for B&B perfection. Nothing but positive vibrations here! Ron and Jean made us feel right at home with their immaculate and tastefully decorated home. Their hospitality was outstanding and can you beat Belgian waffles with fresh whipped cream and fresh strawberries for breakfast?
on February 24, 2010
We just returned from a three night stay at this lovely B&B. It couldn't have been better. Rob & Jan were wonderful hosts, friendly, welcoming and great conversationalists. Inn is "squeaky" clean and the breakfasts are absolutely first class. We will definitely return for another stay.

Outstanding in every way. Wonderful ambience -- genial hosts -- bright and airy surroundings -- bedroom wonderfully appointed.

My husband was always leary of staying at a B&B - I whined enough and convinced him to try one night during our trip to Maine at a B&B. Our schedule put us in Rangeley for only one night - I found the Pleasant Street Inn information and decided it would be our trial run!
Rob&Jan were so amazingly gracious. The facilities were spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and exceptionally comfortable. Rob's recommendation for dinner was perfect and breakfast was delicious!! If it had been possible, I would have changed our plans and spent the rest of the trip at the Pleasant Street Inn. We enjoyed ourselves so very much and thanks to this experience, my husband is willing to try other B&B's when we travel again.

Rob and Jan have created a unique environment where you enjoy the sense of belonging like you are in your own home and the decadence of the finest Inn. For visitors to Maine or those new to the Rangeley Lakes area, this is a perfect pick. The setting and furnishings of the inn are classic New England and Rob and Jan's knowledge and enthusiasm about the local recreational opportunities are endless. During our short winter stay we enjoyed skiing, snowmobiling, and from the warmth of the sun drenched living room we watched deer pass by. The hospitality was superb, the inn design provides room privacy and spacious common space, exceptional cleanliness, and to top it off the food was delicious. This is a truly unique place and we can say it was the most wonderful B & B experience we have had.

During our stay in Rangeley our car broke down and required repairs. Rob allowed us to stay two extra days at a reduced rate while it was fixed.
He prepared a variety of great breakfasts, including wonderful oatmeal with Maine blueberries. My girlfriend is a vegetarian and this was accommodated with no difficulties.
The inn is a short walk from "downtown" so you can get downtown for dinner without needing to drive (though Jan picked us up after dinner one night when it was very cold!)
I cannot recommend Pleasant St. highly enough.

Jessica Aguilar fights Megumi Fujii Friday
Jessica Aguilar and Megumi Fujii both lost controversial decisions to Zoila Gurgel in 2010's Bellator women's 115lb tournament. Never the less, Fujii is widely considered the #1 woman in the class, and most would agree that Aguilar in #2. Thus there is no title at stake when the two fight Friday night at Bellator 69 in what is never the less a great match up.
In a wide ranging interview with SI's Loretta Hunt, Aguilar offered remarks far from usual, which can range from the numbing "I'll smash his/her dumb ass" to the eventually also numbing "I respect everyone my opponent especially and only want a great fight for my fans who I love a lot and also my sponsors and God."

How did I not know this was coming up?!?!?!Very excited to see this fight after they both got screwed in decisions by the same person(conspiracy much).Mega Megu has long been my favorite female fighter and it broke my heart to see a 20+ undefeated streak end in that bs way. Jessica Aguilar got more screwed in her decision than did MM but nonetheless this fight is for the real Bellator champion!!!War Mega Megu!!!

Slideshow: Hangover Helper: Jalapeño-Chipotle Sliders
Cook a slice of onion in a little bit of oil over medium low heat until it's well browned on one side and beginning to soften. Carefully flip it over.
Place a well-seasoned, thin, thin patty of beef over the onions, pressing down gently so the onions get embedded. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the onions are browned on the second side. This should take a couple of minutes.
Flip the entire thing over so that the beef is now in direct contact with the pan, and the onions are on top. Add a bunch of thinly sliced pickled jalapeños.
Spread the bottom bun with chipotle cream, made by pureeing a couple of chipotles packed in adobo sauce with Mexican crema or sour cream (even mayo would work great). You can also add some chopped cilantro to this if you have the inclination. Proportions here are as spicy or as mild as you'd like them to be.
Assemble and Devour
You may need two, depending on your condition.
